Day after Thanksgiving rush

On the day after Thanksgiving this year, instead of rushing to the stores to get the best deals, we rushed with Brandon and Felicia to the Smithsonians...Natural History Museum to be exact. It was fun to see Brandon and Felicia again but the crowds were insane!!! It was shoulder to shoulder most of the museum.

Afterwards we split up for lunch while Brandon and Felicia went to the Holocaust museum. On the way to find a little cafe we passed the FBI building and couldn't help but stop for a photo opportunity.

New Puppy

When we got home from visiting the Smithsonians with Brandon and Felicia we discovered that the Carraway family had recieved an early Christmas present...a brand new little puppy! He is so fun and only makes Kim more jealous to get our own little dog.
Here is Brandon and Carson taking their turns showing off little Bo.

FINALLY! Gosh!

Yes, it's true. The buzz in the air that we are FINALLY having a baby is true. Kim is about 12 weeks along and the baby is expected to make their big debut around May 22. We are both thrilled and couldn't be more excited. We went to see the doctor on the 25 of October and heard the heartbeat for the first time. It was really exciting. We now know for sure that it's real! We are so excited and can't wait to meet this little person.

Halloween Rocker!

Have you ever wondered what Brad would look like with hair? WHOA!!

the race is on

Two Saturday's ago we took David out to see his daughter's (Molly) cross country meet. The meet took place out at Oatlands Plantation, about a 45 minute drive west of here. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful drive. We were able to see all the fall leaves and enjoy the beauty of the country side. Molly did an awesome job. We are so proud of her.

Here is Kim soaking in the sun.
